“…In macaques, several studies have shown precise neuronal selectivity to optic flow stimuli [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], to the interaction between optic flow and ocular position [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], and to the interaction between optic flow and other sensory signals [ 14 , 15 , 16 ]. In humans, several studies have shown that specific optic flow stimuli are important for guiding locomotion [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ] and for the postural control [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. The picture arising from those studies is that the analysis of the optic flow stimuli is a predominantly cortical process preparatory for specific motor actions.…”
